Autumn River No 4 in acrylics

I have been experimenting a bit with how I paint landscapes by starting off by roughly blocking in the scene  with the Atelier Free Flow Acrylics and then building the detail layer on top with the Atelier Interactive Acrylics.  It works rather well so going to paint a few more using that method..

Spring River 2 in acrylics

When ordering some more paper from the Art shop I use, I noticed that they are now stocking Ampersand Panels.  I have always wanted to try the Ampersand Smooth panels so decided to order a few.

I love the surface of these panels - they are so smooth (much smoother than the gessobord panels) and the paint just glides on in a very similar way when using  the Colourfix Smooth Paper.

I will definitely will purchase a few more.

Autumn River 2 in acrylics

I nearly gave up on this one.  I started it and didn't like how it was going so decided to wipe it and paint something else instead.  But after wiping it, the basic elements of the painting were still visible and I still liked the composition so decided to give it another go.  Glad that I started again as I am really pleased with how it turned out.
